Ofcourse legends like Draco should be considered but they have just reappeared on stage. I do not understand the tourney having a Korean. At this moment they are far superior then us. If remastered gains momentum and we non Kors have time to climb up the ladder and be on a more close level then ok... but as of now it would be landslide and we will all be playing for spot2 and down!

How are you doing an invite only event when there's no EXISTING SCENE L M F A O. How do you justify any one invite over another when there's no competition.

Why throw money at an event like this. You could literally throw this money at a TSL 5 or something and actually get people playing again, not some obscure Italian offline event.

Italian eSports OPEN> over half the spots are invites.

Great stuff.

how you justify crying about this great event ? tahts wa way better questionwhy u bother invites i mean it doesnt affect you as u would never be able to qualify so there will be no difference in watching this

there are american events that are american only so lets be happy there is 1 american

thats a pretty bm thing to say man. how do you know he wouldnt qualify? and there are american events? which ones? do any of them have a 16k prizepool?

ab = tl(i) + tl(pc), the grand answer to every tl.net debate - live like a gosu, die like a gosu

But (unfortunately) I don't think inviting Scan is the right choice, he's too good for all other mentioned... It's possible that everyone else would feel like their fighting for 2nd place the whole time. One of the former pros could fit well.

Everything is understandable, the split between invited players and qualified players, the right to choose to invite whoever organizers want to, but why the hell with another tournament noone cares about the players? I just cant understand it, why are we forced to play in 8 turn rate. Noone forces korean players to play in this sad latency... And why we have to play outdated maps, which are SUPER imbalanced nowadays?

$16,000 is a significant amount to hold a tournament, but the response to players' voices is disheartening.

Somewhat disagree, the organizers are clearly just basing the map pool off of the Blizzard ladder, if players want to complain about the map pool, they should do so to Blizzard, not every tournament host that comes up. Like it or not, most (all) people hosting large events were not active in the Brood War community from 2010-2017, so it's kind of unrealistic to assume that they would come in with any other map pool than what Blizzard picked.

The only thing for me is that it should not be called "Open" when there are 3 QF spots of 8, but that's a minor aesthetic.
